MLB's offseason trade market might be dead for the Cleveland Guardians at this point. We talk about the impact of that on their team now and what it could mean going into the season, and how they could pivot to finish the offseason.

We also discuss some arbitration cases to watch for in the coming weeks and how they could impact any possibility of an extension between the Guardians and Tanner Bibee.

The cost of pitching in MLB this winter has been expensive. The Cleveland Guardians needed to add it. How have the Guardians navigated adding pitching in this market? Have their moves of paying a recovering Shane Bieber, and trading for Luis L. Ortiz and Slade Secconi looked smarter or better vs. what players like Matthew Boyd, Alex Cobb and Charlie Morton have cost this winter?

We also discuss Jose Ramirez's 2024 season and if he can keep chasing 40/40 and how much more help does he need to improve in the postseason, or if he can improve on his postseason numbers.

And we each talk about one trade idea at the end of the episode.
